CPH nails it
The new innovation hub will become just the second to be established by Singularity University outside its headquarters in Silicon Valley. According to Samuelsen, this underlines Denmark’s position as an elite location for innovation and digitalisation.

SingularityU Denmark, as the hub will be called, will offer a number of education and innovation courses that combine latest trends within exponential technology with future business arenas.

According to Rob Nail, the global head of Singularity University, the choice of Denmark was not a coincidence.

“Denmark is a recognised global leader in many areas of technology, including green tech, biotech, pharmaceutical sciences, telecommunications, IT and design. We all know the successes born in Denmark: LEGO, Universal Robots and Skype – to name just a few,” said Nail.

“Our intent with the new business venture is to build on these achievements and create new opportunities. I was told that LEGO is short for ‘leg godt’, and SU wants to ‘play well’ in Denmark.”
